I like Miles. He's been damn successful here. I don't want to see us fire him. But I'll admit head coaches need that high testosterone fire sometimes. Mack Brown lost it. I think Saban is losing it soon, too. Les still has it sometimes, but our team needs more fire and discipline.

We'll all have to just wait and see what happens, because nothing in any message board is going to influence what's going on.

No one can deny we've had unprecedented (for LSU) success under Les. It's about trends, man.

Bear Bryant wasn't playing McNeese, Western Kentucky and Eastern Michigan in a non-conference schedule.

Those are somewhat deceptive stats when you consider that the college football season from Bryant's time to now was expanded from 10 to 12 games, and those extra two games are typically filled with cupcakes.

Regular season games against teams that finished in the top 25 at the end of the year.

Miles overall record:

20-18

Through 2011 season:

13-11

From 2012 on:

7-7

Pretty darn consistent.

Did Miles take over a program coming off seasons of 4-7 and 3-8? Some of you are ridiculous.

In the 2 years prior to Saban taking over LSU, we went 7-15, while the two years prior to Miles, LSU went 22-4. I'd say that kind of helped him to start off stronger.

God, some people just love to ignore circumstances. Miles first 3 years, he was 34-6 at 85%, since then he's 75.2% and 76-25. Let's just remember that.

To succeed at a high level as a coach, you have to expend a tremendous amount of energy. When you can no longer sustain that kind of energy level, teams have to move on. I am not sure that Les has the fire that he did when he first arrived on the scene.

Surely you're not implying that Bear Bryant was as good as Les Miles.
